Here are some creative ideas for shower gifts:

1. An address book can be used as a guest book at the shower and provide a great contact list for the new bride or mother.

2. Along the same lines you can pass around a blank book or photo album before the party and have each guest put down a favorite recipe (for the photo album you can put them on index cards and slip them into the photo sleeves) and the recipient will have a custom cookbook of treasured dishes.

3. Find a brown glass bottle and some gelatin capsules and write fun little sayings on small slips of paper, roll them up and pop them into the capsules, then put the capsules in the bottle and label it "Bottled Advice, Take One as Needed" It's a fun gift for the new bride or mother, and it reminds them to keep it light and not lose their sense of humor.
